video: add vaapi decode and output support
This is based on the MPlayer VA API patches. To be exact it's based on a very stripped down version of commit f1ad459a263f8537f6c from git://gitorious.org/vaapi/mplayer.git. This doesn't contain useless things like benchmarking hacks and the demo code for GLX interop. Also, unlike in the original patch, decoding and video output are split into separate source files (the separation between decoding and display also makes pixel format hacks unnecessary). On the other hand, some features not present in the original patch were added, like screenshot support. VA API is rather bad for actual video output. Dealing with older libva versions or the completely broken vdpau backend doesn't help. OSD is low quality and should be rather slow. In some cases, only either OSD or subtitles can be shown at the same time (because OSD is drawn first, OSD is prefered). Also, libva can't decide whether it accepts straight or premultiplied alpha for OSD sub-pictures: the vdpau backend seems to assume premultiplied, while a native vaapi driver uses straight. So I picked straight alpha. It doesn't matter much, because the blending code for straight alpha I added to img_convert.c is probably buggy, and ASS subtitles might be blended incorrectly. Really good video output with VA API would probably use OpenGL and the GL interop features, but at this point you might just use vo_opengl. (Patches for making HW decoding with vo_opengl have a chance of being accepted.) Despite these issues, decoding seems to work ok. I still got tearing on the Intel system I tested (Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2350M). It was also tested with the vdpau vaapi wrapper on a nvidia system; however this was rather broken. (Fortunately, there is no reason to use mpv's VAAPI support over native VDPAU.)
